GoodReadQuinn's eyelids drooped in agreement, her gaze softening. Abruptly, he rose to his feet, his face set in a stern
expression. Without uttering a single word, he strode out of the room. Quinn, however, was quick to react. She
sprang out of bed, catching up to him and seizing his arm.
He halted in his tracks, pausing for a moment before turning his head to regard her. After a few seconds of
silence, Quinn released her grip on him, her hand gesturing towards Juliet. Her fingers, swathed in gauze, made
her gestures less precise. She was uncertain if he would comprehend her silent plea.
His previously relaxed expression hardened slightly at her gestures. "I don't understand," he spat out, his voice
laced with anger. He slammed the door shut, the gust of wind rustling Quinn's hair and whispering in her ears.
She stood rooted to the spot, her mind reeling.
Did he truly not comprehend? Or was it that he chose not to? She tugged at the corner of her mouth in self-
deprecation. It didn't matter. If he chose not to understand, he would remain oblivious.
He was a master at feigning ignorance.
As Alexander descended the stairs, his phone buzzed with an incoming call from Kyle.
Before Kyle could utter a word, Alexander's irate voice cut him off, "You better have a good reason."
"Alexander, it's serious. Juliet is missing," Kyle blurted out.

"Juliet. The hospital called to informthat she's gone. She hasn't returned all night."
Kyle's voice was fraught with urgency, his breaths coming out in short huffs as if he were on the move. "I'm
searching for her with my bodyguards. | assumed she had gone for a stroll, but she hasn't returned. | have no
idea where she could be." Alexander's brow furrowed in concern. He cast a glance upstairs before striding
towards the exit, phone in hand. "Did you check Ariel's house?"
"I did. Ariel was the first person | visited, but he claims Juliet didn't go there. | don't believe he's lying, so I'm
heading to the garbage dump."
"Alright, keepupdated," Alexander instructed before ending the call and tossing his phone onto the couch.
Soren, who had yet to leave, stood silently in a corner, hoping to go unnoticed by Alexander.
Unfortunately, Alexander's sharp gaze found him instantly.
Soren tugged at the corner of his mouth, attempting to muster a polite smile despite his discomfort.
"If you dare to utter a word, | guarantee you won't live to see another day," Alexander warned, his gaze
scrutinizing Soren's face, each glance seeming to contemplate the best way to dispose of him. Soren felt a lump
forming in his throat. He hadn't heard anything.
Nevertheless, he stammered, "I, | didn't hear anything, and | won't say anything, | swear!"
Without wasting another moment, Alexander strode towards the door, leaving Soren to breathe a sigh of relief
and pat his chest in reassurance.
Meanwhile, Kyle and his men drove through the pouring rain and arrived at the place where Juliet used to live.
The place was in a state of disrepair, the relentless rain had washed it into a mess. The curtains and everything
within were reduced to a muddy heap.
Kyle pulled back the curtain, revealing a swarm of insects. The sudden light sent them scurrying into the garbage
pile. He let the curtain fall back into place, turning to his men with a command, "Split up and search."
